@debradownsouth Thank you for the kind words but I have to admit... I take young adults for my own convenience. I simply don't have time, stamina or energy to deal with the pups as adorable as they are. Having a puppy is like having a baby or too! Did I mention I was not into children and babies or can you guess?lol. I love the retirees. they are already used to crates (although Ollie is now somewhat recalcitrant about getting into hers because she would rather hang out with her now "Mom", lol!! They travel well. They are usually somewhat used to people. Ollie is not used to playing by herself and is just getting used to "big" breeds. She doesn't get the commands "sit, down or stay" yet but we are working on it. She is the champ of the "heel" command however!!

Hello Everyone from Alabama! I have a brindle female named Chloe that is one year old. My husband gave her to me as a Valentine's present. Best Valentine's present I ever got. I also have a Rat Terrior that is three years old, named Dixie.

Welcome to the forum.
I've never seen a rat terrier in the UK - I've noted from the forum that they seem to get on well with basenjis

Not at all. Basenji's are not common in Alabama or really anywhere near me. I found her in Clarksville, Tennessee (about a 5 hour drive if you don't stop). That was a LONG day! Up there and right back in one day.

Rat Terriors are hyper, jump constantaly, will lick you to death, and bark like crazy at any noise they hear. BUT as soon as my Dixie see's what the noise actually is, it usually scares her and she goes running away from it. She is really easy going and my basenji just takes control of everything. The only time they don't get along is when I give them a chew bone or something. I have learned to separate them when I do to avoid any problems

Hopefully her sire and dam were DNA tested for Fanconi, if not you might want to consider having her done. Please read about it at www.basenjihealth.org along with other Basenji health concerns

I think Pat wants to know if you got her from a breeder and who that breeder is.

Welcome to the forum. I work with BRAT and we have few volunteers in your area. If you are able to help in any way it would be much appreciated. Please check out www.basenjirescue.org

They both were and I tested Chloe just for a peace of mind for myself. All test results were great.
